   Opening ceremony
    Just like what the Chinese old saying ‘what a great pleasure to meet friends coming from places far away!’ says, it’s also my great honor and pleasure to welcome all old friends and new participants to attend this international wood-industry concerned conference, which is held in the beautiful seaside city, Dalian.

    Because of the uniquely impressive achievements we have achieved in the first time by means of cooperating with overseas companies, I believe, in the near future, the cooperation among enterprises taking the measures of complementing advantages and integrating resources will become the predominant development trend of China’s, even the world’s, wood industry.

    Autumn is the season of harvesting, also the season of sowing. Here, on behalf of China Wood International Inc and myself as well, I’d like to wish a dynamic and productive success to the conference.
